Turn up the Scoville scale with these 20 bottles of lip-tingling hot sauces that we just can't get enough of.

When it comes to hot sauce, sometimes the familiar bottle at the corner store just won't cut it anymore. Maybe you've built up a tolerance—or maybe you've realized that its tepid (or overpowering, depending) flavor doesn't match up to whatever it is you're sprinkling it on.

In those times, it become necessary to branch out. Luckily, Amazon has made it more than easy to branch away from the known factors in our lives and explore the best hot sauces that the world has to offer. Below, a collection of some of those hot sauces—both favorites of the Epi staff and favorites of the Amazon community—all here, in one convenient place, just for you:

1. Huy Fong Sriracha in Bottle-Shaped Packets

Of course, you could get standard Sriracha bottles, but these packets are everything. The user comments on Amazon are mostly from restaurant owners, relating the positive response they've gotten from customers since switching to these packets—which are not only branded well, but also have easier-to-rip-off tops than your standard fiddle-with-each-corner-til-one-gives condiment packet. If I were you, I wouldn't rely on your deli to keep them in stock. Buy them yourself to always have on hand and, honestly, for the cuteness factor alone.

2. Pain 100%

This habanero-based sauce has just a bit of tomato paste for sweetness. Take it from Amazon user HeWhoKnocks and mix a bit with olive oil to brush over a steak before grilling. He said the resulting heat was like sipping "an expensive whiskey—lots of flavor, but the steak didn't burn my mouth."

3. Pickapeppa Sauce

Mangoes and raisins give this Jamaican condiment an extra-fruity profile. In addition to cloves, Pickapeppa is spiked with sour tamarind, black pepper, and warming ginger, so don't pick it up expecting any old one-note hot sauce. Definitely serve it alongside jerk chicken. And then dash it over eggs, grilled pork, and anything else that would benefit from a taste of the islands.

4. Dave's Gourmet Crazy Caribbean Hot Sauce

Stay with me here, but it's often carrots that round out a lot of habanero sauces, balancing the heat with freshness and a touch of something sweet. Still, this sauce is definitely on fire, thanks to a generous dose of Puerto Rican red habaneros. One Amazon reviewer said that the price is a steal since one bottle contains "more hot sauce than one person would ever be able to use in a lifetime." Challenge accepted.

5. CJ's Sauces of Wrath: The Tale of Two Chilies

The two chiles here are habanero and serrano, kicked by a punch of garlic and brightened with tart lime juice. If the clever word play isn't enough to convince you, how about the high praise of Amazon-user Aaron: "It's not just melt your face off hot, it has an incredible flavor!" I mean, isn't that what we all want in a relationship....I mean, in a hot sauce?

6. Yellowbird Habanero Condiment

This super-citrusy habanero hot sauce is a little thicker than standard hot sauce—more akin to Sriracha. A kick of both tangerine and lime give it good backbone to stand against the heat. Amazon user JennaBuysThings says it "works well with an array of foods that normal habanero sauces don't. I can put this on just about anything and be completely satisfied!"

7. Matouk's Calypso Sauce

This Scotch bonnet–based sauce comes from Trinidad. Onion powder and mustard seed bring extra flavor, but it's the peppers themselves that give it the fruity, tropical profile its known for. Bonus: Its thickness is similar to ketchup, so for anyone who's been looking for the perfect hot condiment for French fries, you've found it.

8. The Pepper Plant California-Style Hot Sauce

You can count me among the people that didn't know California had its own style of hot sauce. This one is noted for being as much of a salty seasoning as it is a mildly hot one, so be mindful when dashing it over absolutely anything and everything (but especially burritos).

9. Marie Sharp's Habanero Pepper Sauce

Often picked when they're still orange, the habaneros used this hot sauce were left to ripen until fully red. That makes them fruitier, sweeter, and yes, it makes them hotter. And while Marie Sharp may sound like an imaginary 3rd grade music teacher, she's actually a real person (who did in fact start out as a teacher, before she began selling her signature hot sauce in Belize circa 1981).

10. D.L. Jardine's Blazin' Saddle XXX Hot Sauce

KatieD on Amazon put it right: "This is my favorite hot sauce. My obsession is real and I'm not even slightly ashamed. It has a kick that will get you, but the taste is amazing and is worth the sting." This sauce is deservedly popular in its home state of Texas—now you can make it a thing in your home state, too.

11. Tennessee Sunshine Hot Pepper Sauce

Speaking of home states, this cayenne pepper sauce hails from mine, so I couldn't not include it. The spice is clean with a good balance of vinegar—it's the perfect sauce to take the place of that other common cayenne pepper sauce that's not quite as flavorful as Tennessee Sunshine.

12. Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce

Billed as a Tex-Mex–Caribbean hybrid, this sauce has a base of habaneros and roasted tomatoes, but the flavor is rounded out with mustard, turmeric, "spices," and...I don't know...magic? Advocates of the Aardvark say it goes well with anything: burgers, eggs, pizza, etc. Suzanne on Amazon called it "Incredible! Really yummy, smokey, with a hint of citrus flavor." Made in Portland, Oregon, it's become nearly as ubiquitous on restaurant tables there as ketchup.

13. El Yucateco Green Chile Habanero Sauce

Who says hot sauce has to be red, orange, or yellow? This classic sauce, made with green habanero peppers, has a grassy, fresh quality that most habanero hot sauces lack. Little else goes into the mix to block the heat. Lovers of El Yucateco praise its low vinegar profile and clean, fresh flavor.

14. LA Culinary La Sriracha Racha

Inspired by Sriracha, but featuring a heavy hit of cilantro and tomato, this sauce bills itself as a collision of Asian and Mexican flavors. Amazon user Bryan suggested "dipping popcorn in it—holy Hell, it's delicious. And on eggs? I'm legitimately salivating right now. If my grocery store sold it, I'd buy it weekly."

15. Wing Time Garlic Buffalo Wing Sauce

A favorite of Epi teammate Chelsea Kyle, this hot sauce starts with cayenne peppers and tomatoes. And then they add the Parmesan cheese. Yes, Parmesan cheese. Which is no doubt the reason that proponents, like Chelsea, call it the "creamy sauce that met hot sauce and made even crappy ramen taste like Heaven on Earth."

16. Nando's Peri Peri Hot Sauce

This blend of four chiles, including cayenne and African bird's eye, plus lemon and garlic, started out at a Portuguese restaurant in Johannesburg, South Africa. It's now the signature sauce of a chain of fast-casual restaurants. As you can tell from the logo, and the restaurants, it goes great with chicken, but I think you'll find plenty of other things to put it on, too.

17. Crystal Louisiana's Pure Hot Sauce

Now you don't have to stock up at the Louis Armstrong gift shop next time you're flying out of New Orleans. Just satisfy your craving for the cayenne pepper sauce seen on nearly every table in NOLA via a quick click to Amazon.

18. TryMe Tiger Sauce

The brand name commands and heat-seekers obey. This hot sauce starts with a base of cayenne, and then brings Worcestershire into the mix, adding sweet, sour, and umami notes. Use it anywhere you would use that other flavor-packed sauce to add a kick of intensely-flavorful heat. (Hint: It's especially good in marinades.)

19. Melinda's Original Habanero Pepper Sauce

A former Epi staffer, Laura Wolfgang, freely admitted to buying this hot sauce at the airport on a return trip from Mexico—even though it's pretty widely available in the States. Laura loves the mild heat and "lovely flavor" and doesn't care if you judge her for not coming home with something more esoteric.

20. Valentina Salsa Picante

Kat Sacks, a member of the Epi Test Kitchen team, votes for Valentina's yellow label hot sauce as her top pick. "It's the right amount of heat, vinegar, and flavor. I use it for everything!" she says. Made in Guadalajara, it's the best selling hot sauce in Mexico. Fans describe it as a little earthy, a little sweet, and altogether delicious.
